B-70 bomber at Wright-Patterson AFB, June 1974

Runner-up favorite for me was the B-70 Valkyrie.  This is the only surviving aircraft with the other prototype having been run into by a chase plane when both crashed after the collision.

The Russian development of the MiG-25 fighter pretty much doomed the high and fast flying B-70.  Still, it was a beautiful design and a graceful and futuristic design.
